Thank you very much for this, but I found no digital signatures on this
beta release, nor an updated build script in the gnuzilla git repo.  I'm
not comfortable running unauthenticated code that might have been
modified in transit over the network.

Further testing shows this only occurs on the 2nd and subsequent attempts.

Are there 45 beta binaries available for Windows, too?

For me, there are two important features that I'm not willing to part with:
* The most important lost security function is the cookie confirmation
dialog, which Firefox did away with since Firefox 45;
* The other feature that was removed from Firefox was the tab
collections feature.

If these two things are kept in IceCat — especially the cookie
confirmation dialog — then it could differentiate IceCat from Firefox.

[Bug-gnuzilla] IceCat v45 beta

[Rubén Rodríguez]

Hello everybody,

after some radio silence that I apologize for, I recently took some
vacation that I used to put time into free software projects. Combined
with some more hours this weekend the output is a beta release of v45
that is available here: http://jenkins.trisquel.info/icecat/binaries/

The build needs testing, to check all the expected features and also to
go through all the UI checking for links to Mozilla sites, or anything
else that is against our policies -including any branding issues-.

With that done we can publish the release, and leave secondary tasks for
later work. The biggest of those tasks would be to test binary builds
for windows, macos and android, as well as for distro packagers to make
any necessary changes.

Please download the sources and binaries and report back with your findings!

Cheers,
Ruben.
